Content

To brighten up the rainy days, when you are not particularly frolic in the street, home hanging swings will help. A child will be able to go and play at them, and mom will not have to break away from their household chores in order to follow the child. Children's suspended swing for the house should be chosen as carefully as possible.

Advantages and disadvantages

A big and obvious plus of a home swing is that they are very mobile. They can be transferred from one room to another, taken out into the street, and also taken with you on a trip out of town, out into nature, to grandmother.

They do not take up much space, if necessary, are easily folded and removed, just as easily mounted back. Modern manufacturers take care of the safety of children, and therefore almost all models are equipped with durable kapron ropes, good reliable fastenings, and elements that perform protective functions.

Most rides can change their size. While the child is small, he will swing with an attached table, a protective bumper and a back, then it will be possible to remove similar elements, thereby making the toy more “adult”. Therefore, a well-chosen model for a child of 2-3 years may well serve him up to 10-12 years.

Among the shortcomings can only indicate the negligence of specific manufacturers. This is especially true of cheap swings, which cannot boast of reliable fasteners or quality seats. Often can be seen in the sale of glued toys, they are unsafe.

Kinds

Swings for home are divided into several types (in its design and safety):

  1. simple rope;
  2. rope with a hard bench seat;
  3. with anatomical hard seat;
  4. with a high back seat and leg divider;
  5. with a back, a divider, a protective bumper, armrests;
  6. with a soft seat;
  7. hammock type textile models.

In most designs with anatomical seats, seat belts are provided.

They can be three-point and five-point. According to the type of attachment, the models are quite universal - they can be mounted in door arches and openings, on horizontal bars, on tree branches, some swings are fixed to the ceiling with a hook. On the aesthetic perception of such ceilings and doorways can not worry, because you can use decorative plates, masking the place of built-in mounting.

Options for newborns

Suspended babies swing Recommended only if they are made in the form of a cradle or hammock. So baby can calmly lie in them. Starting from 3 months, when the crumb begins to roll over, the child should wear seat belts if they are provided for in a particular product. If not, it is better to abandon the hanging swing for a while. Until the baby gets stronger, you can use electronic swings - more reliable from the point of view of safety of the baby.

Many swings are floor-mounted, with their own base, to which the hanging part is attached.

If you want a purely suspended model, you will have to try, the choice is rather limited. For a newborn child, you can choose such cradles, cradles that are attached to the ceiling and have sufficiently high sides. Here are a few models:

  1. Cradle "Patterns" - has a significant length of the straps, which makes it possible to hang it at different heights. It is recommended for children up to 4-6 months.As soon as the baby begins to sit down, the cradle becomes dangerous, because children often fall. The cost of such products - from 8500 rubles.
  2. Cradle Leander - a very high-quality cradle made of natural materials with excellent fixings. It is quite expensive - from 20,000 rubles. Designed for children up to 6 months.
  3. Swing Haba "Fairy Meadow" - bright, oval, with lots of toys, rattles and tweeters. This is not only a place to sleep, but also a great educational gift. The cost is about 20,000 rubles.

Material

For the production of swings, manufacturers are trying to use safe, eco-friendly plastic, durable textiles and nylon in the ropes for hanging. Models with seats are often made of wood. Wooden plank rope products are quite popular. Metal elements in models for the home are not used very often, because they significantly weigh down the structure.

Plastic is well cleaned, it is easier to keep track of it, so such a swing is quite practical, which can not be said about wood. If the apartment is high in humidity, the wooden products can swell, and if it is low, they crack. Textile swings must be washed, washed and disinfected with a vertical steamer or an iron.

When choosing, be sure to ask which of the presented models have removable elements, what material they are made of, so that later there will be no difficulties with maintenance.

How to choose?

When choosing a need to build on the child's age. Many manufacturers (both Russian and foreign) recommend their product to children from 1 year. However, there are models that are allowed to use from 6 months - if the child has already learned to sit.

Pay attention to the quality of parts, fixtures, ropes. Plastic should not smell sharply, and wooden elements should not be damaged (breakaway varnish, cracks). Be sure to ask the seller to show two certificates for the specific model you choose - a quality certificate and a certificate of conformity.

If you plan to buy cheap swings, the cost of which starts from 500 rubles, then be prepared for the fact that they will not transform - the seat has certain dimensions that cannot be increased when the child grows up. Models that cost from 1200 rubles, already have a design that allows you to expand the seat, put and remove the backrest and bumper.

Be sure to look at the recommended weight of the manufacturer. It is better to opt for a swing with a load capacity of up to 30-35 kg, because it will significantly extend the period of their use. A growing and heavy child will use the toy long enough.

For young children, it is best to take a swing that has a table in front of it that serves as a bumper-limiter. Some of these products have music panels on which the baby can include programmed melodies. So the crumb will be longer busy playing, and my mother will not have to stand next to him all the time to constantly engage them.

Interesting interior solutions

Such swings, as a rule, are quite bright, they can become a central element of the design of a children's room, if they are mounted in the ceiling in the center of the room.
